I told Mica tonight that we were going to plant a tree in Isaak's room. What I meant...we were putting up a vinyl tree in Isaak's room.

Mica was so excited. Isaak was trying to burnish the vinyl down with me.

Unfortunately...Isaak's room is pretty small, so we had to put it behind his crib.

When his crib gets converted to a toddler bed in the fall we'll be able to see more of the tree.

There are irregular hills going around his room as well. I just ripped wide masking tape, and put it down trying to curve it along the way. Then I painted light blue from the tape into the wall, so that it wouldn't bleed into the tape. It worked like a charm. This is when the Art Media Techniques class that I teach has helped to inspired me!

Here are some shelves I painted when Mica was a baby. A guy I knew was just going to throw the shelves away.

I painted them and added baskets for his toys.

Next we're hanging plastic balls from the ceiling with fishing line.

There's a shelf that needs to be hung up as well. I'm thinking that while Isaak has the robot bedding for his crib/soon to be toddler bed, I'll put some robots on the shelf.

I plan on painting a few things to go with the vinyl tree to put on another wall. I also want to make a 3D kite.

His room has a dresser and desk (not shown here). I want to change the knobs on those things to match each other.

We used the desk as a changing table, and still have it set up for that. It's nice because the hamper fits inside the whole of the desk where the chair would sit. The desk was left in our house by the people who lived there before us. I ripped up old papers that I would of shredded anyhow, glued them on the desk with matte medium, painted it chocolate brown, and varnished over it.

There's just some words that are too cute to correct Isaak when he talks.

I know I'm supposed to correct him, but I figure...he's on track, why not just let him say some words a little off. He does hear me saying them right when I talk about whatever it is he says wrong, so I guess in a way I do correct him.

He says, "Bakit Ball" for Basket Ball, "Boot Ball" for Foot Ball, "Melmo" for Elmo and "Eyeu" for Caillou.

He mostly says everything else pretty clearly. Clearly to me anyhow.

He speaks much more quiet then Mica did at his age.

He tries to sing. I hear him singing the "Clean-Up" song that Mica and nephew Even learned at preschool, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "Happy Birthday".

On the way there I had a back seat driver. Mica said, "Mommy, remember to not turn on Harrison Street. Turn on Giles Road!" He's his Daddy's son with directions, that's for sure!

Isaak was so good at the doctor's office. No tears. The last time he cried when they weighed him and measured him. For some odd reason he was always afraid of the changing stations when we went places. I think the bench they make them sit on reminded him of a changing table.

Isaak weighs 25.3, which is in the 16%. He is 35.5 for height, which is in the 79%. His head circumference is 46.7, which is in the 8%.

The doctor always pays attention to the head circumference a lot because of the meningitis Isaak had at 2 months. He's fine with all that.

Isaak does everything pretty much on task. Except for saying, "I" and "Me". He still refers to himself as, "Isaak".
